Living large


That is an impressive 14 pounds and 23.5" of baby Aida at the two month checkup. Good girl! We got the percentiles, it was above 95th in weight, 90th in height and 75 in head size. All is well with the young lady. She has already grown out of alot of the favorite onesies.


Getting to the doctor was a bit of an adventure with the 18" or so of snow in the last 36 hours...

About one month photos

Maybe the four week set was a bit early. We had the one month checkup:
23" tall, 11 pounds! That is some serious growing. i think that puts her in the millionth percentile for girls. No wonder she is a good eater.

Day two and three pics and a new cousin

Day two and three pictures are here Slowly things are stabilizing.

She has hair, a nice belgie style mullet:

She will be rolling cobbles in flanders in no time.

We stayed at the hospital for a few extra days to get Aida's jaundice dissapated by the using the party lights.

I think we can look at this picture without getting upset now, it was not all that cool when the nurses strapped her to the light table. mean mean nurses.


Finally big congrats to Elena's Brother Hayden and sister-in-law gretchen for bypassing weeks 38-39-40 and bonus week 41 to produce little Tristen Telesforo Perez, more over at Perez Happenings.
